In the days of old, the Urekai stood out as the strongest and most powerful beings in the world.

The ancient tongue called them 'fearsome beasts' for:

Like werewolves, they could transform into beasts.

Like vampires, they consumed blood.

And walked among humans with no one the wiser.

The ageless, peaceful, selfless beings preferred to keep to themselves. Despite being feared and distrusted, they never responded with aggression.

They granted passage to any species wishing to enter their lands beyond the great mountain and welcomed everyone.

But five centuries ago, an unexpected species attacked the Urekais during their one night of weakness. The humans.

While protecting his people, Grand King Daemonikai lost control of his mind, going feral.

Becoming a danger to the same people whom he had given everything to protect.

But, consumed by hatred for humans, the Urekai plunged themselves into darkness.
